Structural evolution of Eu-doped hydroxyapatite nanorods monitored by photoluminescence emission

This paper reports the synthesis of Eu-doped hydroxyapatite (HA:Eu) resulting in particles with nanorod diameters from 9 to 26 nm using the microwave hydrothermal method (HTMW). Eu3+ ions were used as a marker in the HA network by basic hydrolysis followed by the HTMW treatment. The crystalline HA:Eu nanorod nature in a short-range order was detected by photoluminescence (PL) measurements from Eu3+ emission into the HA matrix. Thus, was possible to verify that HA crystallization is favored in a short structural order when the HTMW treatment time was increased from 0 to 40 min and that the Eu3+ substitution in the HA lattice is site-selective.

Urea-Based Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures at Low Temperature

The preparation of nanometer-sized structures of zinc oxide (ZnO) from zinc acetate and urea as raw materials was performed using conventional water bath heating and a microwave hydrothermal (MH) method in an aqueous solution. The oxide formation is controlled by decomposition of the added urea in the sealed autoclave. The influence of urea and the synthesis method on the final product formation are discussed. Broadband photoluminescence (PL) behavior in visible-range spectra was observed with a maximum peak centered in the green region which was attributed to different defects and the structural changes involved with ZnO crystals which were produced during the nucleation process.

Effect of partial preferential orientation and distortions in octahedral clusters on the photoluminescence properties of FeWO4 nanocrystals

This communication is a report of our initial research to obtain iron tungstate (FeWO4) nanocrystals by the microwave-hydrothermal method at 170 degrees C for 45 min. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the FeWO4 nanocrystals prepared with polyethylene glycol-200 have a partial preferential orientation in the (011) plane in relation to other nanocrystals prepared with sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate and water. Rietveld refinement data indicates that all nanocrystals are monophasic with wolframite-type monoclinic structures and exhibit different distortions on octahedral [FeO6]/[WO6] clusters. High resolution transmission electron microcopy revealed an oriented attachment mechanism for the growth of aggregated FeWO4 nanocrystals. Finally, we observed that the photoluminescence properties of these nanocrystals are affected by partial preferential orientation in the (011) plane and distortions on [FeO6]/[WO6] clusters.

Sintesi e caratterizzazione di nanopolveri composite allumina-zirconia

Il presente lavoro di tesi riguarda la sintesi di nanopolveri allumina-zirconia, seguendo tre differenti metodologie (sintesi per coprecipitazione, sintesi con il metodo dei citrati, sintesi idrotermale assistita da microonde) e il trattamento termico (calcinazione) delle polveri ottenute, mediante tecniche di riscaldamento convenzionali ed alternative (microonde). Lo scopo del lavoro è consistito nell’individuare, tra le tecniche esaminate, quella più idonea e conveniente, per la preparazione di nanopolveri cristalline 95 mol% Al2O3 – 5 mol% ZrO2 e nell’esaminare gli effetti che la calcinazione condotta con le microonde, ha sulle caratteristiche finali delle polveri, rispetto ai trattamenti termici convenzionali. I risultati ottenuti al termine del lavoro hanno evidenziato che, tra le tecniche di sintesi esaminate, la sintesi idrotermale assistita da microonde, risulta il metodo più indicato e che, il trattamento termico eseguito con le microonde, risulta di gran lunga vantaggioso rispetto a quello convenzionale. La sintesi idrotermale assistita da microonde consente di ottenere polveri nano cristalline poco agglomerate, che possono essere facilmente disaggregate e con caratteristiche microstrutturali del tutto peculiari. L’utilizzo di tale tecnica permette, già dopo la sintesi a 200°C/2ore, di avere ossido di zirconio, mentre per ottenere gli ossidi di alluminio, è sufficiente un ulteriore trattamento termico a basse temperature e di breve durata (400°C/ 5 min). Si è osservato, inoltre, che il trattamento termico condotto con le microonde comporta la formazione delle fasi cristalline desiderate (ossidi di alluminio e zirconio), impiegando (come per la sintesi) tempi e temperature significativamente ridotti. L’esposizione delle polveri per tempi ridotti e a temperature più basse consente di evitare la formazione di aggregati duri nelle nanopolveri finali e di contrastare il manifestarsi di fenomeni di accrescimento di grani, preservando così la “nanostruttura” delle polveri e le sue caratteristiche proprietà.

Molecular and morphological characterization of hydrochar produced by microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization of cellulose

The objective of this work was to characterize the morphology and molecular composition of the hydrochar produced by microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization of cellulose. The produced hydrochar consists mainly of aggregate microspheres with about 2.0 µm in diameter, with aliphatic and aromatic structures and the presence of carbonyl functional groups. The aromatic groups are formed mainly by benzofuran-like structures, being chemically different from common cellulose char. Microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization yields a functionalized carbon-rich material similar to that produced by the conventional hydrothermal process.
